πŸ”’ Security Best Practices

For Users

  • βœ… Always run WirelessPen with minimal required privileges
  • βœ… Keep the framework updated to the latest version
  • βœ… Use in isolated/virtualized environments when possible
  • βœ… Follow responsible disclosure practices
  • ❌ Don't use on networks without explicit permission
  • ❌ Don't share captured handshakes or sensitive data

For Contributors

  • βœ… Validate all user inputs
  • βœ… Use secure coding practices
  • βœ… Avoid hardcoded secrets or credentials
  • βœ… Implement proper error handling
  • βœ… Test with security scanners (bandit, safety)

πŸ“š Security Resources

Framework Security Features

  • Input Validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized
  • Process Isolation: Child processes run with limited privileges
  • Secure Defaults: Conservative default configurations
  • Error Handling: Detailed logging without sensitive data exposure

External Security Tools

  • Bandit: Static security analysis for Python code
  • Safety: Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • CodeQL: Automated security testing in CI/CD
  • SAST: Static Application Security Testing

🚫 Out of Scope

The following are generally considered out of scope for security reports:

  • Issues requiring physical access to target devices
  • Social engineering attacks against users
  • Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies (report to upstream)
  • Issues in development/debug modes not intended for production
  • Rate limiting or DoS against the framework itself

πŸ“– Legal Considerations

Important Notes:

  • WirelessPen is designed for authorized penetration testing only
  • Users are responsible for complying with local laws and regulations
  • The project maintainers are not responsible for misuse of the tool
  • Security research should follow responsible disclosure principles
